Oh no!
Quick, everybody go back to a 4-digit PIN that can be cracked by, uh, anybody looking over your shoulder actually.
I'd read some chatter from the biometric crowd that this tech was supposed to use RF capacitance to map the "electronic signature" of the flesh beneath the fingerprint. I wonder what went wrong there. The video I saw showed the same guy using a different finger plus the overlay they cooked up to unlock, so I'm wondering the RF capacitance is more a feature of your blood than the structure of your finger.
In other words, the meat of his finger provided the "electronic signature" while the overlay provided the physical key. That would mean this team only has half of an attack figured out.
Either that or Apple was straight-up lying about the sub-dermal scanning.
